I s Kay saying that Saddamn did NOT have weapons programs, or saying they having found a large stash of product? Because if Saddamn had the programs, and he did, if he didn't have a ready supply of product squirreled away, he could have.

That said, I'm all for better intelligence. Is anyone on the committee going to call Toon and demand answers to why 43 was handed such an intel mess?

And is anyone going to call the committee on the carpet for not providing better oversight?

Clinton needed intelligence that would support frequent Iraq bombings to keep domestic problems off the front page. He favored the most dire reports. Clinton was supported then and now by certain elements of the Bush Administration who also shared the goal of regime change in Iraq and thus kept the Clinton Era intelligence around as it suited their agenda.

They let there boss, Bush, down badly.

This has come to spliting "hairs", and is not really about what went down. This is politics at its dirties.

Kay simply is saying that the UN and all its pronouncements back to Clinton were wrong that Saddam had stockpiles of weapons.

NOT saying that Saddam was not in violation of all those resolutions against him, just did not have what was claimed and believed.

Yes, Kay report outlined in Sept that Saddam had programs in chemical, biological and nuclear weapons.
